READING:
A new spoon will make food taste saltier. It is called the Electric Salt Spoon. It was created by a university and a drinks company in Japan. The spoon will help people use less salt. It sends a weak electric current to the tongue. This makes salt taste one and a half times stronger. We can have less salt, but still taste it. A researcher said: "People need to reduce the amount of salt in their food." However, she said food with no salt is tasteless.
Too much salt causes heart problems, high blood pressure, and strokes. The WHO says we should have less than 5 grams a day. In Japan, the average person has around 10.1g of salt a day. A lot of salt in our food comes from processed foods, and from soy sauce. The Electric Salt Spoon costs 19,800 yen (around $99). Its maker hopes to sell a million of them over the next five years. The spoon's developer has also created electric chopsticks.
